Dwina Gibb on her Bee Gees husband's affair with their housekeeper

SAD NEWS: At 72, Dwina Murphy Gibb Opens Up About Robin Gibb’s Affair—And Fans Are Left in Shock

Robin Gibb, one-third of the legendary Bee Gees, will always be remembered as a musical genius whose haunting voice helped define an era. Alongside his brothers Barry and Maurice, Robin created timeless hits such as “How Deep Is Your Love,” “Stayin’ Alive,” and “Massachusetts.” Yet behind the glitz, fame, and global success of the Bee Gees, Robin’s personal life was often complicated. Now, at 72, his widow, Dwina Murphy Gibb, has finally broken her silence about one of the most difficult chapters in their marriage—her husband’s affair.

Dwina, who married Robin in 1985 and remained by his side until his passing in 2012, has long been admired for her quiet dignity. For years, she avoided public discussion about the affair that made headlines during Robin’s lifetime. But in a recent interview, she opened up with surprising candor, admitting that the experience tested her strength but ultimately deepened her understanding of both marriage and forgiveness.

“Yes, it hurt,” Dwina confessed. “It was a betrayal that no woman ever wants to face. But Robin was more than his mistakes. He was also the man I loved, the father of our son, and a soul who carried the weight of fame on his shoulders. I chose to see all of him, not just the flaws.”

Her honesty stunned fans, many of whom had long speculated but never heard her speak directly on the matter. Dwina revealed that during those painful times, she relied on her spirituality and her commitment to her vows to guide her. “I believed in standing by him, not because I was weak, but because love can be complex. We lived through it, we faced it, and we found our way back to one another.”

The revelations shed new light on the human side of Robin Gibb, who was often portrayed in the media only as a world-famous entertainer. Dwina’s words reminded fans that even global superstars are not immune to personal struggles. Behind the spotlight and the music, Robin was a husband navigating the same challenges many couples face.

What moved many listeners most was Dwina’s emphasis on forgiveness. Rather than dwell on the pain, she chose to celebrate the love and life they shared. “I do not want Robin remembered for his mistakes,” she said. “I want him remembered for his music, his kindness, and the joy he brought to the world.”

Fans responded with admiration, praising Dwina’s grace and resilience. For many, her words offered not only insight into Robin’s life but also a powerful reminder about the complexities of love and marriage.

As the widow of one of music’s most iconic voices, Dwina Murphy Gibb has carried Robin’s legacy with quiet strength. By finally speaking openly, she has brought both closure and a deeper understanding to a chapter of their story that fans had long wondered about.

And in doing so, she has reminded the world that even in the face of heartbreak, love—and forgiveness—can endure.
